St. Brigid’s we are small enough to know each pupil’s name and provide a secure, family-oriented environment, but large enough to deliver a rich and diverse curriculum. We are well supported by our governors and parents and have an active School Association. St Brigid’s is beautifully situated on the A543 on the outskirts of Denbigh, a Medieval Walled Town, set in the grounds of an early – Victorian house, surrounded by parkland.
We strive to provide high-quality education for all our pupils, enhanced by a caring and positive ethos in our school. We pride ourselves on Christian family values and we recognize the development of the whole person. We seek “to inspire and be inspired” through “Respect, Love, Faith, Truth, and Excellence.”
The School was established in 1939, by the Congregation of St Brigid and set up on-premises in the town of Denbigh. In 1943, the nuns moved the school from Park Street to the present premises, and the school became St Brigid’s Convent School, catering to children from the age of 4 to 18. In later years, it was known as Brigidine Convent. In 1996 the school became the first Maintained (state) Boarding School in Wales. With changes introduced in 1999 by the Schools Standard and Framework Act, the School became a Voluntary-Aided school supported by the Denbighshire Local Education Authority. In 2013 boarding closed and St Brigid’s became a day school only. St Brigid’s serves a large catchment area stretching from Llandudno in the West to the Welsh Borders in the East, and beyond Ruthin in the South.
St Brigid’s School aims to provide an excellent Christian Education which will enable each pupil to develop their talents to the full and produce the qualities of Character, both spiritual and academic which will lead them naturally into responsible adult life. St Brigid’s provides an atmosphere where the basic values of the Christian family living are of prime importance. A place where education and culture are appreciated for their intrinsic worth, where the development of the whole person through a multitude of disciplines, gives each one a sense of dignity and worth.
